A Royal Welcome to King West Village The Town Of York & Forerunner Of Toronto

The British and French connection cannot be overlooked in this peaceful locality. Victorian buildings and cobbled pathways bring back a slice of history. King West Village once could boast the military barracks of the Town of York.

Now you have access to Grandiose, Clarence Square and Victoria Square which was a pathway to a boulevard called Wellington Place, a street lined with huge old trees. The growth of this sleepy village was changed dramatically with the advent of Steam Railway lines. The old industrial buildings were converted into a residential units and are now called Loft. Strangely, Lofts are the top most portions of the room which may prefer to be called as a ‘penthouse.’

The real growth of King West Village started when the Toronto City launched the King West Village project. That brought back the past glory to a great extent; new investments, buildings, lofts and condominiums sprung up at an exponential rate. The young and urban youth especially found the new haven - ideal for a stay, entertainment, and business.
